Yuzvendra Chahal, the star leg-spinner of the Indian Premier League (IPL), has been creating waves in the cricketing world for his outstanding performances on the field. Recently, he surpassed Amit Mishra’s record for most wickets by a spinner in the IPL, making him one of the best spin bowlers in the league’s history.
However, what many people don’t know is that Chahal’s success is not only due to his hard work and dedication, but also the unwavering support of his wife, Dhanashree Verma. In a recent interview with the Rajasthan-based franchise, Yuzvendra Chahal talked about how his wife’s presence in the stands gives him confidence and positive vibes, making him perform better on the field.
Dhanashree, a renowned choreographer, met Chahal during the COVID-19 pandemic when he joined her online dance classes. Their love story blossomed, and they got married on December 22, 2020. Since then, Dhanashree has been a constant source of motivation for Yuzvendra, and he credits her for helping him improve his game.

Chahal stated, “She observes me very well, especially my bowling. Just two weeks ago, I discovered that she can sometimes predict where I’ll bowl. I’m relieved that she’s only on my side. And she isn’t going to tell anyone about it.”
Yuzvendra Chahal will be playing for the Rajasthan Royals in the IPL 2023 season, and they will be facing off against Shikhar Dhawan’s Punjab Kings at the Baraspara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Wednesday, April 5. With an impressive record of taking 28 wickets in 17 matches against PBKS, Chahal will be looking to add to his tally and help RR secure consecutive wins.
Chahal, who was retained for ₹6.5 crores, was a key player for RR last season, taking 27 wickets in 17 games as the team finished as runners-up. With just 14 wickets needed to surpass Dwayne Bravo’s record of 183 wickets and become the highest wicket-taker in the cash-rich league, Chahal has his eyes set on the prize and is ready to give his best on the field. Yuzvendra Chahal’s love for his wife and her support has certainly made his game stronger, and fans are excited to see what he has in store for the upcoming games.
